"http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/jinstall-13-win32.cab#Version=1,3,0,0" can be ignored as to be the reason, as we already have the JRE installed on the linux clients and the same is not downloaded from the sun site.

We were able to successfully test a dummy html invoking an dummy Applet on the linux box, the difference between the dummy and our application being the dummy html didn't download any jar file as our application does.

Does it have anything to do with any permissions we need to give on the linux box to allow execution or are we doing something wrong with the tags [My guess is <OBJECT> dosen't quite work for Linux-Netscape as it does for Windows-Netscape] above?

Note: we already have read-write permissions to the linux log in user profile on the cache folder location for netscape but the jar's are still not getting downloaded.
